11,1 V LiPo pack`s on standard F27 Stryker?
I think my Stryker needs a bit more power, the standard 8,4 V pack just don`t cut it
I want to be able to use the combatmodule so going brushless isn`t an option quite yet.
So my question is: will the ESC(and motor) be able to handle 11,1 V from a 3 cell LiPo pack or do I risk frying the thing?
Cheers!

Motor will not last long on 11.1 volts, not sure if old style Esc will hold either, new Esc being put in Mustang is lipo friendly for the 11.1.
For the time being, go with a 2 s pack, lipo will hold voltage a lot longer then stock packs.
Also have you advanced timing on motor, will give a little more speed.

Thank you Glacier Gir,l will go for a 2 s pack then.
Being a newbie on electrics, I`m not familiar with advancing/retarding timing on motors.
Does this mean rotating the backplate??
If so, what direction and how much?
What does advancing the timing actually do??
Cheers!

Flyby,
You're going to turn back plate clockwise. Look on rear side of motor for white plastic with 2 metal tabs bent over it. That's the timing lock. You'll also need to loosen 4 tabs on back of motor that hold back plate on. Back to the timing lock, pry up the metal tabs, turn so metal tab lines up with next notch on plastic. If correct one tab will be in second notch of plastic and one will be just past plastic, bend both down to lock advanced timing, and rebend 4 crimps on back plate. You've now advanced timing. This will make motor run faster and pull harder, but does pull more from packs. Lipo will easily handle.
Have you used lipos before? If not, PLEASE read up on the safety warnings on them.
They are quite a power system, but need your up most attention in charging and using.
They do not forgive. ALWAYS consider them as nitro, when you use them.Enough for todays lesson, now go have fun

RE: 11,1 V LiPo pack`s on standard F27 Stryker?
Thanks again Glacier Girl. Am going to fix the timing tonight.
I tried it with a 9.6 V NiMh pack and that was much better.
What I don`t get is how a 7.4(2s) pack will improve performance over the stock 8.4 V pack?
Am I missing something here??
And Pyrock: Thanks for the really usefull tips you gave!! I`ll go with the flux capacitor first [8D]
Cheers!!
